the proprietor if he could change nn

'yes,' nnd took the hill, which, sure
enough, had tho number eleven in the
corners, nnd just ulauc'nn nt it handed
the amount in chan;;e to Stewart.
"The joker hud ndded another figure in

"About fifteen minutes nfler Stewart
went nway n man walked in nnd mtid tc
tho proprietor:
" 'Mr. Kc.mcdy, I v.ndentnnd that you
hnve nn eleven dollar bill hero. May 1
look nt it? I nover saw one.'
"Kennedy produced it, nnd the man
marveled over it for several minutes.
Ecforo ho got through examining it an

Finally Kennedy's curiosity liecaine ex

the bill really looked like. Ho saw at

with laughter, nnil tho old fellow had to
acknowledge that tho cigars were on

"F'iml that was funny," commented
tho lawyer.
"Well, here's another Instance," said
tho broker. "Stewart went to a picnic
ono day with some men, nnd 0110 of them
had on a brand new hat ho hud just
bought in tho city. It was nn nlmost
white derby, nnd it nt once attracted
Stownrt'a attention.
" 'Well,' ho said, fjoing up to the
young man, 'you've got one of those new
hate, have j-ou? Let's look at it?
"The fellow took it off with some show
of pride and handed it over for inspec

" 'I saw ono of them hats the othei
day In the city,' said Stownrt to the lit
tle group of men who had gathered
around him. 'nnd I had half a mind to
get it. but its I wns in a hurry I didn't
stop. They nro something entirely new.
They don't burn, you know. I'd like to
have that hat. Whnt'll you take for it?
" 'I don't want to sell it," answered
tho owner, grinning with pleasure at
being the object of so mnch attention. '1
didn't know it wns fireproof though.
Are yon snre about it?
" ' Oh, yes.' replied Stewart confident
ly. Sell it to mo and I'll snow you.'
" 'No, if you're sure I'll try it myself.'
And the yonng conntrymnn walked ovet
to a wood fire, followed by tho crowd of
men Who had been gaping with wouder
at the reported qualities of the now hat.
" 'How will I put it in? he asked Stew
art, who stood near by with a look of in
tense interest on his face.
" 'Oh, chuck it right in. It enn't hurt
it," replied the joker.
"So the innocent victim threw bis hat
into the fire, which of course made short
work of it. Tho man's face wa con
vulsed with rage and astonishment, and
his temper was not improved when the
crowd of inon burst into a roar. He
looked around for Stewart, but that
gentleman had discreetly disappeared."
"Oh, come off! Go and tell that to

Wliy Thorghattaa II u a llulu Through It.
Thorghutton. the famous Norwegian
xnouutoin, has a hole extending entirely
through it from one side to the other.
According to a Norwegian legend this
same Mount ThorghatUm was once a hat
and belonged to one Thorg; hence the
name Thorghatten. It seems that in the
mythical ages a giunt and giantess foil
violently in love with each other. They
were foroud to part for a time, but
vowed that they would marry in the
neiir future. Boon after, however, the
fickle woman pledged her troth to an
other. Th'iB angered her giant lover to
a degree unknown to modem men of
smaller stuture. He was seventy miles
from her when the elfs brought tho
news; but, selecting a good arrow, he
shot it in her direction.
Now it happened that her brother,
Thorg, was standing in direct line of the
arrow's flight. It went through his hat
and skull, killing biu instantly, and fell I
harmless at the teet ot tho faithless
giantess. Sho had the power of turning
til objects into stone, nnd forthwith
willed that her brother's hat becoin- a
stone monument to the tragedy. The
cruel lover was turned to stone where
he snt astride his hnrse at Hestninndo.
and the gin: -: herself petrified at
Leeko. Tho two la'ter objects have dis
appeared, but Thoi ; ;'s hat (Thoi ;;liatt 11)
is still the object of many curious pil
grimages. St. Louis Republic.
A liny In lied.
We nre nnturnlly given to condemn
nnd despise the idea of remaining in bed
when our health is pood nnd all our vi
tal forces in fair working order. Apart
from the mutter of our nightly rest, we
rarely think of "a day in bed" either as
preservative of health or conducive to
longevity. Yet 1 am convinced there is
mnch to bo said in favor of "a day in
bed" now and then, its nn nid to health
in tho middln nged nnd as a measure
tending to prolong life in the old.
In bed the whole muscular system Is
nt ease nnd the wear nnd tear of the
body is reduced to a minimum. The
processes of getting rid of waste matters
nre in abeyance: there i.i less waste to
get rid of. and lungs, skin nnd kidneys
have 11 measure of comparalivo repose.
The nervous tiystem. iihovenll, is sooDied
nnd comforted by the "day in bed."
Anxieties nnd worries disappear after
the rest, und tho individual returns to
the workaday world refreshed and ren
ovated, physically and mentally, in a
degree such 11s the actions of no 111 ili
cines could hnve accomplished.
In a word, tho person who enjoys "a
dny in lied" is in the position of nn en
gine whose fires nre banked down and
whose energies nro recruiting fur tho re
newal of the work of tomorrow. Health

Pictures of the packets scarcely show
how unlike our boats these nre. tho dif
ference lieing in the methods of work
manship. Each story is built merely of
sheathing, and in tho best boats the
doors and fanlights are hung on without
frames nrotiud them nil loose nnd thin,
as if they never encountered cold weather
or bud storms. All the boats that 1 saw
are as nearly alike in nil respects as if
one man had built them. 1 woHtold that
tho great tmoketa cost only (170.000 to
$100,000, so that tho mere c gino in a

reason for tho difference !n construction

Many visitors to tho Metropolitan Mu

how easy it would be to riflo almost any

Each of theso cases is guarded, however,

which contains the Moses-Lazarus col

valuable objects is connected with these

should attempt to force open a lid tho

The terrible accident thnt hnpienod tc
Peter Dtmgherty. the "trackwalker,"
gave to many renders n new word in the
vocabulary of "trades and occupations."
That there was Btich an occupation ni
trackwalking under the big cover of the
starry dome not one man in a thousand
ever imagined.
'A trackwalker, a trackwalker?' ex
claimed one citizen when asked the defi
nition of the term. "Why, yes: of course.
A trackwalker is n fellow who wnlki
the trucks. See? .lust as easy! Now
nsk me something real hard."
If pressed for u cl"ser explanation of
the long word's meaning, tho citi
zen proceeds to get facetious: "Oh,
watcher trying to ring in 1111 me now
A trackwalker is a tiackwalW. When
the carnivorous tramp is hunted from
His lair in one city he emigrates to an
other On the way thither, my friend,
he is a valuable specimen of (he genus
trackwalker. When tho manager of an
'L'ncle Tom's Cabin" troop folds up his
pocketbook and. like an Arab, silently
steals away, leaving sweet little Eva,
good old Uncle Tom nnd religious Miss
Ophelia to swear lit his memory for their
salaries, why. then they are very likely
to lieeonie trackwalkers. Then, again,
yon might call hucksters who drive their
wagons up and down the street enr
tracks track hawkers. Ho, he, he! See?"
Which all goes to show that the real
bona tide trackwalker is comparatively
an unknown cog in tho great machine of
the world. If that cog was suddenly
taken out of place and thrown away the
world would very soon discover its loss.
From tho crashing of wrecked trains
would eomo the death rattlo of the dying;
from the ruddy glare of burning cars
would come tho shrieks of tortured
wretches pinned beneath heavy timbers,
and the one cry sounded from end to end
of the land would be. "The trnckwnlker
deserted his trust." Kido along any road
for five or ten miles and you will over

rata way diagonal, and his trousers, if
noticed, ling at the knees. He only gets
i' l.iO a day hero in the west, und in some
eastern districts still less. He curries a
wrench nnd u hammer, and now and
then stops to tighten it bolt in a rail or
drive a spike into a tie. He trumps along
thus for twelve hours out of the twenty
four, and at the end of the day "can
sleep without rocking."
A reporter found Duugherty yesterday
in one of the pleasant wards of St. Mary's
infirmary. Bending over him, with her
sweet face full of symputhy, was ono of
the sisters of the order. "He's doing
very nicely." she softly said, "but must
not be excited."
'Yon see, It's my shoulder there now,"
exclaimed Duughterty, raising his left
arm nnd dropping it to the sheet again
with a shudder of pain. "It seems as
though it was under a trip hammer nnd
the hammer was pounding for all it was
worth. Still it isn't ns bad now as it
was. Good gracious, but that old engino
did hit me a clip!"
"How did it happen?'
"AH fired sudden. 1 was walking
along between the tracks, peaceable as
yon pleaso. when down rolls a train on
the left hand. Being afraid that the
steum or something would hit me I
stepped into the right hand track.
Whack! UifT! Yonrs truly got it in the
neck suro as yon live. An engine was
flying down the right hand tracks, you
see, und I merely tried to stop it by putr

Tim Jewel of a Snlnt,
The idea .of sanctity usually carries
with it a suggestion of poverty, and it
may seem a contradiction to refer to the
jewels of a saint. It has been customary
for painters who choose for their sul
jects saints or mart v ; . tu treat them
with the utino-.i, Hiiiii:'r '. In a ma
jority of cases tin y ni ' i .epieted as do
Void of ornament or dei oration, nnd in
tho fow exceptional instances, ns when
the subject of the picture is a ruler or
king, tho gems aro few and purely sym
bolic, being sufficient only to denote the
rank of the individual portrayed.
Raphael, who was iierhtip tho great
est painter of religious subjects tho world
has known, has in most of his works ad
hered strictly to this rule, but in the
head of "St. Cecilia" is to be noticed a de
parture from it. A row of pearls, to which
nre attached three pendunts, ornaments
her gown ut tho neck, nnd this is her
only jewelry. Tho hnir is simply nr
ronged und without a jowel of any kind.
The singlo row of gems, themselves the
emblems of chastity, emphasizes the ex

A young woman condemns herself in
tho eyes of good society who is observed
to enter olono with a young man a place
for public refreshment, bo tho restaurant
or teuroom over so select. Bred under
other conditions of a society so neces
sarily varying as thnt in our broad
America, a stranger visiting Now York,
for instance, might readily nnd inno
cently mako a miutako of this nature,
und blush at finding herself condemned
for it. In tho same category of offenses
is ranked that of maidens visiting places
of public amusement under the escort of
young men alouo.
Many parts of tho south and west al
low this to bo done with tho smiling con
sent of good society, but in eastern cities
it is considered a violation of the code of
good form, and for tho comfort, if not
the convenience, of tho girl considering
it, had better bo ranked among tho lost
privileges upon which social evolution
may look back with fond regrot. Mrs.

forgetfulness of the names of things

a light shower came np, and he returned
for his umbrella.
